                    <p>WordPress is open source web software that you can install on your web server to create your
                        website, blog, community or network. WordPress started out as a tool for blogging, but has
                        evolved into a full-fledged Content Management System (CMS), capable of powering websites,
                        networks and communities.</p>

                                ideas, rants, reviews, links, and pictures of your toothless Uncle Ernie at the wedding
                                reception, if you choose. In addition, you can customize the look and feel of your site.
                                Numerous themes are available and may be modified in many different ways. Through the

                                Plugins let you create the website or blog that suits your needs. As you can see, its
